Plausible DatoCMS Plugin
DatoCMS plugin that provides a link to Plausible for the current record on the sidebar
Setup
Adding the plugin from the marketplace
In your DatoCMS project, go to Settings -> Plugins -> Add new (plus sign at the bottom) -> From Marketplace -> Search for Plausible -> Install this plugin.
Adding as a private plugin
In your DatoCMS project, go to Settings -> Plugins -> Add new (plus sign at the bottom) -> Create new plugin -> Enter the following configuration:
-
Plugin Name: Plausible
-
Small Description: Provides sidebar links to Plausible
-
Entry Point URL: https://datocms-plugin-plausible.netlify.app/
Then click on Save plugin settings
Plugin parameters
After installing the plugin, in the new settings form we must enter the parameters for our Plausible project.
-
Plausible Site: The name of our site in plausible,
ex: mysite.com
Then for each model, we'll have the following fields:
-
[DATOCMS MODEL] URL Pattern: The pattern used to construct the Plausible URL for the specified model,
ex: ?page=%2f -
[DATOCMS MODEL] Slug Field: The field of the specified model that will be used as slug,
ex: First Name
The combination of the 3 parameters will be later used by the plugin to create a link, ex:
https://plausible.io/mysite.com?page=%2fjoakim
Then click on Save Settings
Plugin
After the setup is complete, we can navigate to content and select a record from one our models.
The plugin will show up in the sidebar.
